Özet:

 This study aims to understand the ethical source of the selfless efforts as a prosocial behavior taken by mine workers during search and rescue operations after 6 February earthquakes. The study is qualitative and follows a phenomenological methodology. In this regard, face-to-face and online interviews with 17 individuals were conducted using the intentional and snowball sampling methods. Participants are mine workers from TTK and private miners in Zonguldak who voluntarily helped in search and rescue operations following the earthquakes on February 6, 2023. A semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers was used as a data collecting technique, and the results were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. Themes, categories, and codes were developed by reviewing the literature, research questions, and participant responses. The findings were analyzed under four themes: i description of the work performed during the search and rescue operations, ii ethical justification of the work done during the search and rescue operations, iii definition of success, iv challenges encountered during search and rescue operations and ways to overcome them. The results indicate that while a sense of community is the most essential aspect in justification prosocial behaviors, belief, conscience, and empathy are all important. Additionally, it has been found that in high-risk workplaces, at combination of ethical principles and professional skills enhances productivity. These results are predicted to contribute to moral and values education.

 Bu çalışma, bir prososyal davranış örneği olarak maden işçilerinin 6 Şubat 2023 depremlerinde arama-kurtarma faaliyetlerindeki özverili çabalarının etik kaynağını anlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırma olgu bilim deseninde nitel bir araştırmadır. Araştırma kapsamında amaçlı ve kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle ulaşılan 17 katılımcıyla yüz yüze ve online mülakat yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Zonguldakta TTK ve özel maden ocaklarında çalışan, 6 Şubat 2023 depremlerinde arama kurtarma faaliyetlerine gönüllü katılmış olan maden işçileri oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz tekniğiyle analiz edilmiştir. Tema, kategori ve kodlar; araştırma soruları, katılımcı görüşleri ve literatür incelemesiyle oluşturulmuştur. Bulgular dört tema altında incelenmiştir: i arama-kurtarma çalışmaları esnasında yaptığı işi tanımlama, ii arama-kurtarma çalışmaları esnasında yaptığı işi etik açıdan temellendirme, iii başarıyı tanımlama, iv arama-kurtarma çalışmaları esnasında karşılaşılan güçlükler ve başa çıkma yolları. Araştırma bulguları prososyal davranışları temellendirmede toplumsallık duygusunun en belirgin etken olmakla birlikte inanç, vicdan ve empatinin önemli faktörler olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla beraber etik değerler ile profesyonel yetkinliğin bir arada olmasının riskli çalışma ortamlarında verimi arttırdığı saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarının ahlak ve değerler eğitimine katkı sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
